To be utterly honest I started this manhwa just because I thought it would be cheeky cliche romance with some love-triangles or something like that. But man oh man! I can't remember the time I cried so much.

One of the most important focuses of "Seasons of Blossom" is how it tackles the issue of bullying, cruelty and corrupted system of most countries. This topic is handled with such sensitivity and realism that it felt like almost real. This webtoon doesn't just show the pain and struggles caused by bullying but also the journey towards healing and standing up for oneself. It's truly inspiring to ... see characters find their voice and confidence to confront their bullies.

The theme of standing up not only for oneself but also for others is another heart-warming point of manhwa. It's about finding the courage to support those who can't defend themselves, which adds a layer of depth to the characters and their relationships. Because, ignorance isn't a bliss and being ignorant equals being cruel.

And you can't go anywhere without love and friendship, right? Don't be scared. If you're looking for cheeky scenes, enemies-to-lovers, "fake dating" and all other tropes - you can find them perfectly mixed here.

The way the story unfolds with every page is just heavenly. It's so smooth and raw like a warm water in the summer sea that just wraps around you with each chapter. One of the best things about "Seasons of Blossom" is how it connects together the stories of all its characters. It's like they're all destined by this invisible thread of life and fate, and it's done so brilliantly.

Reading it felt like being back a high-schooler again. I went through all the emotions – happiness, sadness, anger, hatred and that rush of first love. It's a story that really stays with you because of how true it is to life.

So, if you're looking for a manhwa that's not just about romance but also about overcoming challenges, building confidence, and the power of friendship, "Seasons of Blossom" is perfect.

You must read this webtoon once in a lifetime!!

"I hope you will have the courage to reach out for help one more time."

Seasons of Blossom is a brilliantly written and emotional manhwa that shows the multiple struggles that one faces and how the characters work together to overcome those struggles. It brings an essential lesson to light that many might have gotten bored of hearing, yet it is so crucial and important to hear: You are not alone.

Story: 10/10
Seasons of Blossom includes four arcs named after the seasons, each with different characters and lessons to be focused on. All four of the arcs are, as said at the beginning, beautifully written and convey ... the emotions and lives of every character amazingly and realistically. The lessons that were portrayed in every arc are easy to learn from and relate to and, like said at the end, will truly change lives. The relationships are also written beautifully, whether they be relationships that are forming, ending, or continuing to blossom.

Characters: 9/10
The personality and story behind every character are very diverse and portray the reasoning behind why a character acts a certain way. The authors made almost every character easy to relate to and wrote all of them very well. This was pointed out by another reviewer, but I'd like to include that many of the characters are very reoccurring in the story and don't just appear in one arc and then never show up again, so you can end a season without worrying about when you'll see your favorite characters again.

Art: 7/10
The art style is a bit simple yet very easy to recognize and it is easy to find beauty in this simplicity anyway. The artwork perfectly depicted the emotions of every character, and I enjoyed how each detail was illustrated. The only reason it isn't perfectly scored is because the style genuinely simple and there wasn't anything really special about it. However, now that this manhwa is especially memorable to me, I do think that I will be able to recognize the art style in other places if I ever happen to stumble upon it.

Enjoyment: 10/10
After 1 year of reading this manhwa, I have to say that it was extremely enjoyable and there wasn't a single chapter where I was feeling bored of what was occurring. In fact, I was usually always on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what happens in the next chapter.

To wrap it up, I would like to say that I genuinely believe this manhwa will save lives (I mean this quite literally) with the tear-jerking, relatable lessons that it has to give to its readers. Seasons of Blossom has the ability to make readers get emotional, whether it be happiness or sadness, and educates readers of mental struggles. During the author's note in the epilogue, Hongduck and Nenome said "We wanted to create a work comforting and encouraging to our readers but we were the ones who were consoled and supported instead," and I believe that they have achieved exactly what they wanted and will continue to do such.

Overall: 10/10
Mathematically speaking, my score would be a 9, but I genuinely enjoyed reading it so much that I think it deserves a 10. I highly recommend that you read this.
